May 2015


Calvin and Hobbes and Luca and Annick.

Things to remember for this month:

- How they love the Octonauts and both of them claim Barnacles as their favourite character (although Annick has a soft spot for Kwaazi and does a great 'Aye aye matey' when required and Luca is fond of caring little Peso) leading to statements in the bath from Annick such as, "No, I'm Barnacles Luca and you can be my buddy."
- Luca: We need a baby!
  Annick: It's OK, I will go to the shop and I will get a baby.
- How we made rockets out of bottles and construction paper and Luca was launching a space mission, "we are going to a planet!"  "What planet Luca?"  "The planet... the planet BOB!  FSSSHHHHHH here we go to the Planet Bob..."
- How Papa reads Tintin to them in the evenings (or during the day) and does all the voices.
- How Luca likes to go 'ARRRRRR' like a pirate, but cannot say his Rs, so sounds more like Elmer Fudd being a pirate. 
- How the 'aquarium' is still up on the walls and even two months later the two of them went on a tour, exclaiming, "look, a shark!" "scuttle scuttle little crab!" "ooh, jellyfish!" "look, I see a turtle!" 
- How Luca has returned to playing the good papa for his toutous and when you go in to check on him at night, he has carefully laid them upon cushions at his feet and they are all sleeping peacefully together. 
- How Annick's ultimate pleasure if a 'cosy and warm' bed.
- How Luca calls DVDs "deeverdees"
- How Annick's most used word is 'sprinkly', meaning either sparkly or covered in dots or water from the shower.
- How we have finally worked out that Annick's song 'Round the coconut' is actually just a mishearing of 'Wind the bobbin up'. 

Public transport is their home.

Buses as well as trams.

Luca and Papa blast off!

Apparently this is 'helping'.

Still loves this dress.  Dress now actually fits!

As do polar bears!!

Luca's default crinkly-nosed smile.

Looking after their babies.

Making rockets!

Luca's literacy skills improving every day.

Still building some amazing structures.

Still struggling with the loss of her afternoon nap (her decision, not ours!)

Fashionista.

When Luca is in time out, Annick takes advantage of the pirate ship access.

Sometimes everyone is sick.

Making stop motion pony movies at the NGV!

Mademoiselle.

Papa follows instructions to draw Elsa and Anna while Annick does more important things.

UN REQUIN.

Ce fromage papa.
